OSLA Academics

We believe in learning through play.

This is done through centers in each classroom, interacting with the children as they explore, and working in small groups to meet the specific developmental needs of each child.

Three & Four Year Old – Preschool

Our Savior’s Three and Four year old classes offer a strong educational foundation, which is rooted in the highly interactive experience. Our teachers provide a tactile learning environment, which is combined with fundamental teaching, all of which enables the student to learn faster, to develop critical thinking skills, and to gain an early joy of learning. We provide dependable schedules for meals, playtime and naps, and our ratios are kept low in order to provide the highly beneficial one-on-one time between teacher and student as the child navigates the formative early education years.

Pre-Kindergarten Curriculum

All preschool students enjoy a well-rounded educational curriculum that includes daily religion, circle time, and hands-on center time. Art, library, music, physical education and technology are also a part of the weekly curriculum.  Teachers use fine-tuned lessons plans to provide students the time needed to connect their circle and center time to their real-world experience. Teachers document student learning demonstrated in the centers to assess learning achieved and student learning needs. Student portfolios are available for parent review at any time.

Because children learn in more than one way and because learning affects several areas at a time, each section addresses the following areas of learning:

Social/Emotional – The ability to develop relationships with others, to develop self-awareness and self-confidence, and to understand and cope with feelings.

Physical – Development of Fine (small) and Gross (large) Motor Skills; the ability to move large and small muscles.

Cognitive – Gaining knowledge, learning to reason, and solving problems in daily life.

Speech and Language – Talking, listening, reading, writing, and singing are all creative ways to build speech and language.
